GENERAL CHANGES

• Mimic Tear Ashes were adjusted. Difficult to tell to what degree since it’s a fairly fluid summon but the consensus is that it’s a nerf
• Mimic Veil is now contextual and will transform you into objects that correlate to the terrain and the dungeon you are in
• Unseen Form has improved casting visuals and slightly(?) more transparency while active
• Pidia now sells a Weathered Map that marks the location of the Amber Starlight needed for Seluvis’s quest
• Smithing Stones purchased through the Twin Maiden Husks have had their costs reduced. Does not extend to Somber Stones
• Caelid has a new night soundtrack, pretty spooky
• Nomadic Merchants at Coastal Cave, Saintsbridge, Mistwood, Castle Morne, Isolated Merchant (Weeping Peninsula), and Liurnia Lake Shore sell limited quantities of Smithing Stones

INCANTATION CHANGES

-None found thus far

WEAPON CHANGES

• Heavy scaling has lowered overall raw damage (a Heavy Iron Greatsword at +24 pre-patch was 330, now is 309). Scaling is now on par to track with the initial +25 values. This one is a huge bummer, because instead of buffing the final upgrade, they instead nerfed the preceding ones.
• Split damage weapons scaling with Arcane have been fixed (Rivers of Blood and Eleonora’s Poleblade are scary good now, at +10 with 55/70 DEX/ARC Rivers went from 372 to 697)
• Did not get a chance to compare Ashes of War before/after, hoping someone can help fill in the blanks. Hoarfrost Stomp got absolutely gutted, though (about 1/2 range, much slower windup)

SHIELD CHANGES

• Shields across the board have recieved huge Guard Boost buffs, making them much better overall.
• Some shields have also recieved adjustments to their damage negation. I might add these later as the list is already incredibly exhaustive, all values listed below are changes to Guard Boost only. Overall, it seems to be a net positive to most of the shields affected, with the sole exception of the Great Turtle Shell, which has lost a significant amount of physical reduction. RIP
• Upgrading shields also yields higher Guard Boost buffs, not universal (Erdtree Greatshield+9 went from 62 to 65)

New/Continue Volcano Manor quest with Patches? from Eldenring

Now that’s quite a lot — especially for the weapon and item changes. I don’t know about you, but I’d want to know those changes whenever they’re implemented. We’re not sure if this is an intentional omission in the patch notes by FromSoftware (most likely it is), or just something they forgot to list down. Whatever the case may be, at least you know the hidden changes, right?
